Installation Instructions

1. Extract ALL files into their own Folder. You must run the BF2CC.exe file from a folder with ALL included files.
You can NOT run BF2CC.exe from Winzip, Winrar, or any other shell/zip style program.

2. You MUST have the .NET Framwork 1.1 installed to run BF2CC.exe. If you get an error while trying to load the program,
then you don’t have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed. Please go to www.WindowsUpdate.com to get ALL Windows Updates,
.NET Framework 1.1, .NET Framework Service Packs etc. BF2CC will NOT work with the .NET Framework Beta 2.0 or 1.0.
Please see this FAQ for more info: http://www.bf2cc.com/faq.htm

3. You can connect the BF2CC client directly to the BF2 Dedicated server (via the ModManager Scripts) or you can connect
the BF2CC Client to the BF2CC Daemon. In either case, you will need to have the ModManager Scripts installed on your
Battlefield 2 Server. In the Login Screen, make sure you specify which type of connection you wish to make. The choices
are BF2CCDaemon or R-Con Only.

R-Con vs. Daemon

Running the BF2CC Daemon is the preferred to an R-Con only connection. Using the BF2CC Daemon provides additional functionality
such as:

Multiple User Accounts with Role Based Security Permissions (Access to certain features can be restricted)

Logging of all Admin Actions

Store and Apply settings using a convenient Profile based system

Use a customized Ban List System which stores extra information, such as Player Name, REason for Ban, Admin and Date/Time.

Future Improvements such as PB Screenshots

If you have complete remote access to your server, you will want to install the BF2CC Daemon alongside your BF2 server.

In either case, you will need to install the ModManager Scripts onto the computer running your BF2 server. See ModManager Install section below. You can download the MM scripts from http://www.BF2CC.com. They also come included in the latest Daemon release.

If you connect via R-Con you will NOT be able to use the following features/sections in the client:

Dashbaord – Allows you to Start/Stop the BF2 server remotely and work with Settings Profiles

BF2CC Client Won’t Load
You MUST have the .NET Framwork 1.1 installed to run BF2CC.exe. If you get an error while trying to load the program,

Connection Problems

1. Make sure you have the ModManager Scripts Installed on your BF2 server and that your Server is using ModManager. See ModManager Section Below.

2. You can test your R-Con functionality. Instructions at http://www.bf2cc.com/help_test_admin_scripts.htm

3. Make sure if you have the correct Connection Setting selected on the Login Screen. “BF2CCDaemon” vs “R-Con Only”

4. If making an R-Con Only Connection then you need to have your R-Con Port (as specified in the ModManager.con file)
open for TCP traffic through your server’s firewall. (Default R-Con Port = 6711)

5. If making a BF2CCDaemon connection, make sure you have a BF2CCD running on your server and that the Daemon port
(Default 6712) is open for TCP Traffic through your server’s firewall.
